History with Brooklyn
Featured
The development of Brooklyn and its identity starts with the first colonial Dutch settlers.
Brooklynites had two things: the Brooklyn Bridge and the Dodgers... and then they lost the Dodgers.
One of the most important and epic aspects of New York City is its extensive subway system, making much of the city accessible to millions of people.
This is one of the most critical battles of the American Revolution for Independence. Without George Washington's escape, a Great Nation likely would not have been born.
